          <p>Advanced technology, coupled with the fact that the brain can reshape itself, has shown that highly targeted brain training programmes can enhance cognitive outcomes. </p>
          <p>In a breakthrough study Green and Bavelier (2003) demonstrated that people who played video games performed significantly better than non-players, on visual attention tasks. Not to be outdone, the non video-game players were enticed to play video games repetitively over several weeks, and their visual attention skills also improved significantly. It seems that video games with repeatable, focused and adaptive content and precise task demands showed the best results.</p>
          <p>As people grow older their cognitive abilities decline. Mindful of this, Ball, et al (2002) worked with seniors who were 65 years and older, randomly splitting them into two groups to learn and practice inductive reasoning and problem solving skills.  One group received no training, whereas the other had 10 one-hour sessions of repetitive cognitive exercises. Not only did these latter participants benefit more significantly from the training tasks but they also generalized their new found skills to real-world functions.</p> 
          <p>These studies illustrate a sampling of the growing body of scientific evidence showing that irrespective of age or circumstance, brain training enhances not only cognitive skills, but real-life outcomes as well.</p></div>
